robola 46 Posted January 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Like I said before, these are the last floor-pods Ill ever make. Because of this, Im planning of taking it another level higher, and giving it all Ive got. So be prepared . You may have seen that I placed the 20cm JL s at its place. Off course this wasnt that simple, but its done, so thats all that matters. The next challenger is from a whole other level. Id like to make a grill which comes in front of the speaker, once the key is in the contact. Like no other, there are several problems I have to take care of first… 1. The minimal level of space I have 2. The transmission of the system 3. Make all of this so therell be no resonance once the woofer is blowing...and this...wont be easy at all. OK, enough talking, lets do this. These are the first test Ive done. I called them EVO I cause I knew this couldnt be done right from the first time. This is EVO1. You can see the first idea of the transmission to slide the grill. The aluminum lat is now on the left, and now you have to imagine the grill is open. You can see I worked with a brake-cable of a bike. The engine is from BMW. This one is used to open the rear side windows of my car. It contains also limit switch contacts, so I dont have to worry about that. Then I started thinking again, and thats how EVO2 evolved. You can see that the transmission is totally different. I deleted the brake cable, and put the little motor onto the hinge. I also place a uniball on the engine. The grill you see now is not the grill that will be mounted in the end. This is just a perforated plate I had left somewhere in my garage. You can also see I mounted the engine with 1 screw and a rubber underneath. This was very important, so the engine can move a little, and it runs smoothly. You can also see I gave the thing a name: PIRANHA… lol I mounted this all in the car, and it immediately clear it was all too big. Anyway, a little movie. Meanwhile, Evo 3 is ready, and it looks much better. I also want to remind you guys, that it is still possible I wont get it to work, but I could not live with myself without trying it… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCort101 Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 You've been one of the guys who's motivated me to start building again. I know you've heard this thousands of times by now. Your attention to detail is impeccable. Thanks for the inspiration and motivation to get back into this. Best Regards from a far away place. LMC. Funky Lu WYLA Designs What Ya Lookin At?

robola 46 Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Meanwhile, EVO 3 took a jump into the bin, but it made me a bit wizer. Sometimes you have to go 2 steps back, to go forward. This is EVO 4, and Im starting to like it. You can see it has become more compact, and thats a good thing. I managed to reduce the centimeters, especially in width. You can also see I took another grill too. This one wont stay either, but I did this for the weight of the engine. The engine got a place on the back now. Here you can see it with the grill closed. Here its done its job, and the grill is open. I screwed the engine tight on 2 thick rubbers. So it can do its job, while the vibrations are taking care off. Its important to reduce the vibrations for this little thing. I can make it as nice as possible, but when the woofers start to play, and theres resonance, then it sucks bigtime. You can also see Im using felt already. The grills glides on the red vilt when it opens, mounted on the aluminum rail. You can see that theres a few mms space between the grill and the ring of the speaker. You can also see this on the hinge. Sorry dudes, but there a LOOOOOOOOOOOOT more work to do until its finished; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxim Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 What the hell? Grills that remove themselves with the flip of a switch? I don't think this guy ever stops innovating. Custom vents in his hood, removable grills, speaker pods out of plastic balls, carbon fiber EVERYTHING! I wish I could see this in person one day. Greatest build I've ever looked at and it just doesn't seem to stop. Keep doing what you're doing man. Your work is an inspiration to me and I'm sure many others. wtf is lolcats? I'd def get a fat hooker if i had to resort to that kinda thing. I feel like they'd be grateful and work harder. Also its more bang for my buck, more real estate for my dollar if you catch my drift. its like the Costco of streetwalkers. I was hoping for 150 . I was hoping she would let me put it in her butt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire2k6 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Sorry dude's, but there a LOOOOOOOOOOOOT more work to do until it's finished; Sorry?! Sorry?! dude you have no reason to be sorry, this is the best build ever! It takes as long as it takes! Live life to the full... Then TURN THAT BITCH UP!

cc_audio Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Sorry dude, but when this car is finished it will be a greater piece of art than the Sistine chapel. This car needs to find its way into a museum eventually, a vehicle so perfect must be preserved for future generations! So sick! It's all gone!
